Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 1.5 – 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- ½ cup water or white wine
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- *In a covered sauce pan add water or white wine and a splash of olive oil, then place the chicken breasts in the pan and season with salt and pepper. Cover the pan partially – leaving a small gap for steam to escape - and simmer chicken over medium heat for about ten minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165° F (75° C). Check and turn the chicken every ten minutes or so until tender and completely cooked through. Then, remove from heat and allow to cool a bit. Using two forks, shred the cooked chicken.
For the Sweet Red Onion Relish
- *In a lidded jar add equal parts thinly sliced red onion to four bean salad juice – enough so the juice covers the onions. Cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight to allow flavors to marry.
For the Sauce
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 – 3 tablespoons four bean salad liquid
- 1 teaspoon dried onion flakes
- Salt and pepper to taste
- *Combine the sauce ingredients in a small glass bowl Cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
